Statistics group
Statistics group contains the statistics of each monitored port on a switch. An entry in a statistics group
is an accumulated value counting from the time when the statistics group is created.
The statistics include the number of the following items: collisions, packets with Cyclic Redundancy
Check (CRC) errors, undersize (or oversize) packets, broadcast packets, multicast packets, and
received bytes and packets.
With the RMON statistics management function, you can monitor the use of a port and make statistics
on the errors occurred when the ports are being used.
